So who holds the title as Largest Northern CA fish store

[islandcreation]

Exotic-Aquarium state they are the largest but Aquarium showroom has to rival it, right? I know its not really an important question nor topic but to say your the largest store in NorCal is a pretty big statement. So who holds the title?

What do you base it on? Square footage? Gallons of water? # of tanks?

Fattest?
Aquarium Showroom was pretty big, biggest LFS that I've ever been to...
haven't been to Exotic-Aquarium, yet. Most of the stores that I go to are a bit smaller.

Good question? I think I'd have to ask Exotic Aquarium. I'm thinking maybe gallons of water since they do have pretty much the whole store filled with tanks. Then again I haven't been there since the MARS swap two years ago.

I think Exotic has more tanks than AS but Max is setting a bunch of new tanks. You would have to wait until AS done setting up their tanks. Anyway I think right now Exotic might has more tanks filled with water but there are a lot of tanks that don't have anything in it but water ;D .. I haven't been to Exotic for a while though ..

TAS on both square footage, amount of water and amount of tanks. It's in the top 10 in the nation as far as that is concerned (well, when it's done)

do you have a top-10 list?

That Fish Place in Lancaster Pa, is BY FAR the biggest store I've been to it's at least 50,000 sq ft.

TAS is big because of the workshop in the back. I don't really think the tanks area is bigger than Exotic though. I could be wrong... Can't trust my eyes sometimes ;D ..

 

[GreshamH]

TAS has (will have) more holding space out front then Exotic. I don't trust you eyes either

Jeremy, that place is huge, so is Pruess Animal House in Michigan.

Andy, only in my head and I will not commit it to print

I take that you know the footage of both stores?? Of course the tank area only..

The biggest one I have ever been to was Aquatic Outlet in Inglewood, CA (close to LAX airport).

OK, are we talking square footage of over all store, gallonage, holding space, devoted to marine, etc?
